Subject: RE: help I need the song title-tomatoes are soft
Yeah I learned that song while camping too:

Get away
Get away
It's a jolly fine song
And I'll sing it all day

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10,
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1,
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10,
It's a jolly fine song
And I'll sing it again

Get away
Get away
It's a jolly fine song
And I'll sing it all day

Now Mary the milkmaid was milking the cow
But poor little Mary she didn't know how
Along came the farmer and gave her the sack
So she turned the-cow over and poured the milk back

Get away
Get away
It's a jolly fine song
And I'll sing it all day

To market to market went my brother Jim
Til somebody threw a tomato at him
Now, tomatoes are soft and they don't hurt the skin
But this one it did, it was wrapped in a tin

Get away
Get away
It's a jolly fine song
And I'll sing it all day

I came on a tramp who was tattered and torn
He was eating the grass on my front lawn
I said "If you're hungry, and in need of a snack,
The grass is much longer around at the back."

Get away
Get away
It's a jolly fine song
And I'll sing it all day

I called on my girlfriend, her name was Anne Brown
She was having a bath, and she couldn't come down
I said "slip on something, be down in a tick"
So she slipped on the soap and by Joe she was quick

Get away
Get away
It's a jolly fine song
And I'll sing it all day

I was at the pub when the siren did sound
So I put down my beer glass to go on my round
I wrote on a note "I have spat in this beer"
And when I returned they'd all written "Same here"

Get away
Get away
It's a jolly fine song
And I'll sing it all day

A Methodist Minister was spreading the news
On the dangers of marriage and the devils of booze
He leaned on the pullpit to have a wee think
And a bottle of whisky fell out, with a 'clink'

Get away
Get away
It's a jolly fine song
And I'll sing it all day

The Salvation Army I once did appear
The Captain said "I will save anyone here"
"Do you save girlies" He said "Yes thats right"
"Then save me a couple, for Saturday night"

Get away
Get away
It's a jolly fine song
And I'll sing it all day

I dreamt that I died, and to heaven did go
But "Where did you come from" they wanted to know
When I said from **** they said "Come right in,
You're the first one we've had from that ses pool of sin"

Get away
Get away
It's a jolly fine song
And I'll sing it all day
